sandwich press

Heated bread compressor

A sandwich press is a countertop appliance with two heated plates that clamp together to toast and compress sandwiches.

The ridged plates create grill marks and melt cheese while crisping bread.

Also called a panini press or panini maker, though it works on any sandwich: I made a grilled cheese in the sandwich press.
